I just think ISDIRSEP would be clearer since a "slash" can have
meanings other than a path element separator in other contexts, though
I will grant there is probably rarely ambiguity in projects using GNULIB,

Regardless, it would increase readability for people not familar with
the code, so I will generate a patch if there is a consensus.
